The deadline to file papers to run for alderperson in Madison’s 8th district is extended to 5 p.m. Monday, January 7.  The deadline to circulate nomination papers for this alder seat will be Saturday, January 5.  Because the City Clerk’s Office will not be open this Saturday, paperwork will need to be submitted to the Clerk’s Office on Monday.  Nomination paper signatures obtained on January 6 and January 7 cannot be counted.

The filing deadline is extended 72 hours whenever an incumbent not running for re-election does not file a declaration of non-candidacy by the deadline established by State Statute.
